Swings playfully between tongue-in-cheek sci-fi and big, blistering action!

Rating: 7/10 (12 January 2007)

Do not bother with this unless you're hopelessly hooked on good futuristic action, like myself! This hip, fly-tech, yet slightly longish hybrid rises impressively up from the cheesy "Aeon Flux"-lookalike it initially threatens to turn out as. The set-up & story might not be totally original, but it really works and engages. It then swings non-stop between playful tongue-in-cheek (nice Scottish image gimmick by McGregor!) sci-fi and big, blistering chase scenes. It's like "Capricorn One" mixed with "THX 1138", "The 6th day" and "Minority report"... Too much? Corny? Not credible enough? Only if you want it to be! Good-looking stars, by the way and Buscemi is a hoot.
